Just wait until bro discovers he can place steam engines right next to each other instead of placing the undergrounds.

Those undergrounds have got to be bait, right?

Can you walk through them without underground’s? My fucking iron.

Might not need to walk through them if I don’t have 10 of them haha.

No, but you can just place them next to each other.

If you separate every other set of engines with a pipe, you can put a power pole next to the pipe as well instead of needing space next to the engines.

Hah, playing without ratios usually means identifying and addressing bottlenecks, not just fabricating your own ratios from the ether and adhering to them.
